samba - Sep 2003 - trying to print from windows 98 to mac usb printer using samba

Hello,

this is my first post to this list, so if there is another list which 
might be better, I would appreciate a link.

I am trying to print to my wife's printer which is hooked via usb to her 
powerbook with Mac OS 10.2.

Having played with samba for quite awhile I can now view and write to 
her mac from my windows pc. But I still cannot print.

I have enabled all print sharing options in the user account on her 
computer. I believe I have set up the printer connection on my 98 box 
correctly. When I print from 98, I can see the spool file in my queue 
and the file disappears as if it printed, but there is no printer. It 
was suggested I use apple laser writer drivers on 98 which I did. I 
changed the Edit 
/System/Library/StartupItems/Samba/StartupParameters.plist to insert

   Uses     = ("Printing","Super Server"); 

I believe that the mac is using cups and the 98 box correctly shows both
printers listed in her /etc/printcaps file.
Its called S9000 on her box and that's the name it shows up on as mine

I can print from her mac directly to the printer. 

I'm pretty flumoxed and could use some advice. 

Eric

This is the right forum. However since you use CUPS
you can ask also someone at http://www.cups.org
Questions to printer drivers pose at http://www.linuxprinting.org
I'm sure there are also forums for MacOSX.
